Find a Coworking Space in Schwerin

About Schwerin

The state capital of the Mecklenburg-Vorpommern region in the north of Germany, Schwerin is the 2nd largest city in the area with a population of around the 100,000 mark. Granted city rights by "Henry the Lion" in 1160, it's known for its romantic Schwerin Palace perched on an island in Lake Schwerin. History buffs will have plenty of wet panty moments, as its old town is predominantly intact and there is the Staatliches Museum where you can peek at awesome Flemish art that includes works by Peter Paul Rubens. The city is actually within the metropolitan region of Hamburg and not far from Berlin, so it's easy to get to or run away from. Coworking venues have now opened their doors in this amazing city of high technology, government agencies and academic colleges.

Germany's startup scene is thriving with opportunities given to creative souls to pitch their ventures to investors at "Startup Germany" that went on tour at the instigation of the German Chambers of Commerce Abroad. The startup scene is a bit of a mixed bag with almost 30% of startup staff not being German. There are a few hurdles to overcome for startups such as red tape hassles, language barriers and the fact that most founders wish to hire skilled foreign workers. Eight out of ten German startups want to go international, but legal systems and regulations may be the inhibitors in this regard.

Despite these niggles, coworking spaces are overflowing with creatives in collaborative mode whilst mingling with a vibrant community.
